I guess it's possible that a really high excursion woofer could actually rattle a really crappy cab apart at the seams but we'd be talking about a really good driver in a really badly constructed cab....extremes. Most often the really bad cab will just resonate horribly taking sound away from the really good woofer causing you to turn up more and thus blowing the really good woofer as a result of putting it in a really crappy cab.
